Down to his watery grave

not really mr. fish but you get the idea with the white one...

I'm sad to report that Mr Fish went the way of all goldfish before him. After 5 years of happy swimming in his little bowl I found him sleeping at the bottom a few days ago. Uh oh. And then yesterday morning he was swimming sideways and upside down until he swam no more. He was, by far, the longest living gold fish I've ever known. And he wasn't even gold anymore, he went white after about year two. So although I'm kind of glad i won't have to clean his bowl anymore, I'm going to miss the guy and his little hungry dance.

He was ceremoniously flushed last night and his bowl emptied. Along with a small piece of my heart. :)
